Vehicle Laws - Speed Monitoring Systems - Residential Districts

SB 530 expands the statewide application of speed monitoring systems in residential districts by revising Maryland’s vehicle laws. It requires all speed limit signs on highways within residential districts (defined as areas adjacent to residences for at least 300 feet) to display clear signage indicating speed monitoring systems are active. The bill also mandates public notice of system locations, real-time speed displays at certain sites, and ensures signage complies with state traffic control standards. Existing permitted locations (like Indian Head Highway, I-83, and specific school zones) remain unchanged under this statewide rule. The law takes effect October 1, 2025.
